Translator: 549690339 1

Upon ascending to the second floor, Song Jian scanned the surrounding area. The second floor looked similar to the first, with several tables and chairs for reading and rows of bookshelves.

Many of these wooden desks and shelves were dilapidated and crumbling, with a slight touch turning them into dust. Most of them were toppled over in a haphazard manner, coated with a thick layer of dust.

There were also many mutated soul bodies wandering aimlessly around the second floor, passing through any obstructing bookshelves or tables.

The appearance of these mutated soul bodies differed greatly from those on the first floor. The ones on the first floor were armored, gripping heavy swords in the form of knights, while the ones here were dressed in white long robes, some clasping a codex in their hands, others holding a short staff, resembling clergy.

The number of mutated soul bodies here was higher than on the first floor. After scanning them, Song Jian’s gaze shifted to the disorderly bookshelves.

The “Sacred Parry” he obtained on the first floor delighted him. He could only hope the second floor would hold similar surprises.

Raising the “Flame Skeleton Repeating Crossbow”, Song Jian aimed at the closest mutated soul body.

Whizz, whizz, whizz-

Releasing the crossbow’s inbuilt three-shot skill, three flaming bolts shot towards the mutated soul body;

-12

-8

-3

As a Sword Controller, the damage Song Jian caused using the Skeleton Crossbow was extremely low. Add to that, the mutated soul body’s inherent 6o% physical damage reduction, if it weren’t for the crossbow’s built-in fire damage, it would hardly scratch the enemy’s defenses.

The damaged mutated soul body roared and pounced at Song Jian, stopping three or four meters away from him. The pages of the codex it held began to flip automatically while it started to chant a spell.

Immediately, a small cluster of rotating dark clouds appeared above Song Jian’s head, and a thick bolt of lightning darted down towards him from the cloud.

“Is this a lightning spell?” Song Jian hesitated briefly. In a split second, he executed the newly learned “Sacred Parry”.

Suddenly, Song Jian, with the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword in hand, made a charging movement, and a faint golden aura emerged on his body’s surface.

Boom!

The lightning strike descended right above Song Jian’s head, but was blocked by the light golden aura on his body surface.

MISS

The attack was parried, and afterwards, a radiant golden light enveloped Song

Jian. A surge of power concentrated on his right hand which held the longsword. In one swift motion, he thrust it forward, a dazzling golden Sword Qi pierced towards the mutated soul body;

Bam!

With a muffled sound, the golden Sword Qi exploded on the mutated soul body’s chest, immediately causing it to stagger backward, and a damage number of over a hundred points floated above its head.

“This Sacred Parry skill, is really impressive!” Song Jian cracked a slight smile and directly executed the “Sword Shadow Step”, charging towards the mutated soul body.

The mutated soul body, which had been counterattacked by Sacred Parry, revealed a confused look. The scene before its eyes seemed familiar, yet it couldn’t recall where it had seen it before. Seeing Song Jian transformed into a shadow and pounced at it, a fierce emotion welled up in its heart, it made a “hehe” roaring sound, and the flipping speed of the codex in its hand increased.

Kick!

Song Jian, who had rushed to the front of the mutated soul body, viciously kicked it. The chanting mutated soul body, now resembled as if someone had choked its neck, the spell was abruptly ended, a damage number of over eighty points immediately floated above its head.

Sword Silk!

Broken Wing Dance!

Rapid Sword, activate!

After a series of skills, the mutated soul body let out a tragic cry and turned into a soul seed, burning with white flames.

“Apart from this mutated soul seed, there’s no other loot. But the experience is quite high, significantly higher than the level fifteen monsters I fought the day before yesterday.” Song Jian thought to himself as he went for another mutated soul body.

After spending a little over an hour, Song Jian exterminated all the mutated soul bodies on the second floor. His experience points increased to level fourteen, 98%, and he also harvested over sixty mutated soul seeds. Now, he had over a hundred mutated soul seeds in his bag, unsure of what they were useful for, he decided to stow them away for the time being.

After clearing out the monsters on this floor, Song Jian began to meticulously search the books in the shelves, hoping to find a book that could record a skill. After spending about ten minutes perusing over ten rows of shelves, he didn’t make any new discoveries, which left Song Jian feeling disappointed.

With a sigh, Song Jian continued his journey to the third floor.

Upon reaching the third floor, Song Jian found that the third floor was eerily empty, without anything, or so it seemed to be!

Song Jian noticed a gigantic magic array etched on the floor of the third floor. The magic array was sketched entirely in a blazing red pigment, resembling fresh blood. Despite the considerable amount of time the place had been abandoned, the magic array looked vivid as if it had just been inscribed.

“Destroy it, destroy this magic array. Once this magic array is destroyed, you can eradicate the demon here and restore tranquility to the whole block…” From beside Song Jian, a soft voice suddenly rang out. The voice was full of allure, very pleasant to the ears, and it made people irresistibly want to do as it told.

Song Jian looked dazed, stepping forward unconsciously. Suddenly, a refreshing energy surged in his mind freeing him from this bewitching state. Seeing himself less than a meter away from the magic array gave Song Jian a cold sweat.

“What happened just now?” Song Jian opened the system information prompt, and sure enough, he had been tempted by some mysterious power. Fortunately, his inherent skill “Thick Skinned” came into play rescuing him from this state. Song Jian looked at his taskbar and discovered the original task of eliminating the demon in the library had been modified to “Destroy the Magick Array in front of you”.

This made Song Jian frown. This task was too strange, making him have a vague bad feeling, as if he had been fooled.

Just as Song Jian was contemplating whether to cancel the task, the hidden task underwent another change, an update appeared in the task reward column.

Originally, the task reward was simply three thousand Doomsday Coins and ten thousand Experience Points. Now, however, it had changed to an item radiating a holy glow.

“Sacred Spirit? Using it can increase all attributes by two points? That’s amazing!” Song Jian couldn’t help but widen his eyes, staring at the reward column of this hidden task.

Song Jian checked the hidden task once more, fearful that any loophole might lead to a trap. After a long inspection, he finally nodded. As long as he destroyed the magic array in front of him, he could directly receive the Sacred Spirit. It was an amazing object capable of increasing all attributes by two points, and Song Jian was not going to let it slip through his fingers.

Taking a deep breath, Song Jian walked up to the magic array, brandishing the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, and slashed fiercely at the magic array.
